Obtaining the Region of a Bucket (SDK for Node.js)

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub.

Function

This API returns the region of a bucket.

Restrictions

To obtain the region of a bucket, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:bucket:GetBucketLocation in IAM or GetBucketLocation in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Creating a Custom Bucket Policy.

Method

ObsClient.getBucketLocation(params)

Request Parameters

**Table 1** BucketRequestInput
Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
Bucket	string	Yes	Explanation: Bucket name. Restrictions: A bucket name must be unique across all accounts and regions. A bucket name: Must be 3 to 63 characters long and start with a digit or letter. Lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.) are allowed. Cannot be formatted as an IP address. Cannot start or end with a hyphen (-) or period (.). Cannot contain two consecutive periods (..), for example, my..bucket. Cannot contain a period (.) and a hyphen (-) adjacent to each other, for example, my-.bucket or my.-bucket.

Code Examples

You can call ObsClient.getBucketLocation to obtain the location of a bucket. This example uses bucket examplebucket.

    
     
       
       
         // Import the OBS library.
// Use npm to install the client.
const ObsClient = require("esdk-obs-nodejs");
// Use the source code to install the client.
// var ObsClient = require('./lib/obs');

// Create an instance of ObsClient.
const obsClient = new ObsClient({
  // Obtain an AK/SK pair using environment variables or import an AK/SK pair in other ways. Using hard coding may result in leakage.
  // Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/eu/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
  access_key_id: process.env.ACCESS_KEY_ID,
  secret_access_key: process.env.SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
  // (Optional) If you use a temporary AK/SK pair and a security token to access OBS, you are advised not to use hard coding, which may result in information leakage. You can obtain an AK/SK pair using environment variables or import an AK/SK pair in other ways.
  // security_token: process.env.SECURITY_TOKEN,
  // Enter the endpoint corresponding to the region where the bucket is located. EU-Dublin is used here in this example. Replace it with the one currently in use.
  server: "https://obs.eu-west-101.myhuaweicloud.eu"
});

async function getBucketLocation() {
  try {
    const params = {
      // Specify the bucket name.
      Bucket: "examplebucket"
    };
    // Obtain the bucket region.
    const result = await obsClient.getBucketLocation(params);
    if (result.CommonMsg.Status <= 300) {
      console.log("Get bucket(%s)'s location successful!", params.Bucket);
      console.log('Location: %s', result.InterfaceResult.Location);
      return;
    };
    console.log("An ObsError was found, which means your request sent to OBS was rejected with an error response.");
    console.log("Status: %d", result.CommonMsg.Status);
    console.log("Code: %s", result.CommonMsg.Code);
    console.log("Message: %s", result.CommonMsg.Message);
    console.log("RequestId: %s", result.CommonMsg.RequestId);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log("An Exception was found, which means the client encountered an internal problem when attempting to communicate with OBS, for example, the client was unable to access the network.");
    console.log(error);
  };
};

getBucketLocation();
